Every saga has a beginning. The story of a centuries-old curse on the Owens family started with an unusual baby—a girl found in a snow-covered field. Under the care of a kind woman skilled in the Incomprehensible Art, Maria Owens, born a witch, from early childhood observed what love can do to women. As a child, Maria swears she will never fall in love—but in the end, whether she is a witch or not, a woman is always a woman.
When her beloved leaves her, she decides to protect all the generations that follow in her family, so that no heart in the Owens line will ever be broken again. “Men go to war, and women fall in love recklessly for reasons that even they can’t explain.”
In every era, women who have known unhappy love once, in their hearts, vow never to love again—but in the end they inevitably forget about it. However, what if you’re a witch, and the words you’ve spoken can’t simply be taken back? Discover how the famous magical saga of the witches of Salem began.
